In the wake of Climategate 2.0, action on the IPCC is more needed than ever

On the eve of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which opens in Durban, South Africa, on Nov. 28, a second massive collection of embarrassing climate science emails have been dumped on the world via a web server in Russia.

Where they came from nobody knows, just as the source of the first climate science emails — released to the world through a Russian site on the eve of the ill-fated 2009 Copenhagen climate conference — has never been revealed.

Dubbed Climategate 2.0, it looks at first glance like more of the same. The same science personalities at the top of the United Nations climate research machine — the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — who starred in the pre-Copenhagen leaks are back, parading before readers in all their blundering glory.

The emails originate at the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, a key IPCC research hub, and were somehow part of a U.K. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) process.
